Chemical Peels
About Glycolic Peel
Glycolic acid is a small molecule that exfoliates the surface of the skin, loosening dead cells so fresher skin shows through. It is a popular choice for a smoother, brighter complexion.
Strength and timing are chosen for your skin type, so the peel is effective without being harsh.
